Carr should not be fired, he is MICHIGAN. Two games don’t make a season or a carrier.
Evidently the defense is much slower, specially the secondary, and the offense is not playing up to their capabilities. It comes down to every man in every unit doing their job, and doing it well.
Good thing Notre Dame is coming to the Big House. They bring a more or lees a "conventional stile" offense. That should help refocus the Michigan defense. Hopefully they will play more zone to help with their lack of speed. But their DE’s have to start putting pressure on the QB’s. That is the key for a zone defense. If that doesn’t happen it’s going to be an interesting afternoon.
ND's defense surrendered 33 points to Georgia and 31 points to Penn State. They are giving up 340.5 Yds/G, 252 Pass Yds and 429 Rush Yds per game. Against this defense Michigan should simplify their blocking schemes, formations and passing routs and just play Michigan football. Running over them north and south, mixing in some play action roll out passes, quick five step drop passes and some shotgun formation passes. They have to stretch that defense with the TE.
Remember, the Big Ten conference is still up for grabs and if they manage to win it, everybody will be saying what a great coach L. Carr is.
Still believe. Go BLUE.
